Yep, the throwing and rugby passing is destroying the game.

I can't see them beating 3.5 in the final term, let alone the deficit. Fingers crossed.

Yep that's how it seems to me too. I had the impression of watching a bunch of energiser bunnies who's mission is to do everything as fast as possible at all costs.

I've noticed that in the last year or so.
Thought it was just Saints being in a low point...but actually think it's the game.
Nee!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos Round 13 2017
The whole rhythm of the game has fundamentally changed. Feel confused. How can I give up footy? Yet am not enjoying it. It's like staying with an old habit that's past it's use by date. And all the sanitised spin put out by the ubiquitous marketing types. Just makes me stare blankly into space.fugazi wrote:Total agreement.st.byron wrote:I think I'm actually losing interest in the game. In footy I mean. There's no art in it any more.

although it's nice to beat those cheats from Arden St, the game itself was horrible to watch.fugazi wrote:Total agreement.st.byron wrote:I think I'm actually losing interest in the game. In footy I mean. There's no art in it any more.

Ugly and I don't want to see the replay

Re: Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos Round 13 2017
I used to watch every game every round. Couldnt get enough. Now I cant be bothered. I dont understand it, I must be dumb. It is so dissected now that I feel really stupid cos I dont get it. To many opinions, too many rule changes, too contrived.fugazi wrote:Total agreement.st.byron wrote:I think I'm actually losing interest in the game. In footy I mean. There's no art in it any more.

It's because in the back of your mind, nagging you, is the 1% chance (actually less than that on our history) that we'll win the flag. One day. And for some reason, we all have an itch that only that event can scratch. Silly as it sounds.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos Round 13 2017
Woeful set shot kicking at goal again. Still only 2 1/2 quarters of football played. Its obvious they cant play at the level required for the full 120 minutes. A really shallow win in the end.

Didn't GC beat a top 4 team recently?

First 3 quarters? no postives? No comment on good coaching? all you come up with is 4 negativesspert wrote:Nice to win but the midfield got totally wiped in the last quarter. The defensive work of the forwards went missing. Should have won by a whole lot more, so more work for Richo. Seems like once the ball gets in he centre corridor, we lose the plot- luckily North are not that good. Need f our quarter footy.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos Round 13 2017
Before the game started if you had told me we will win by 17 points I would have taken that in a heartbeat.
We needed a win after our terrible last 3 games (or 4 games if you include the win over Carlton) and we got it.
As per my second post on this thread about AFL 360 (on Foxtel with Richo & the geelong kray) and us winning when the cats lose - I hope the cats don't win too many more games.
What did one of our previous coaches say? We bank the 4 points and move on.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

I was at the game and the third quarter was one of the worst things I have ever seen. I would rather watch an Adam Sandler movie.

Dunstan listed as calf injury in the post match report, did anyone notice that happen?
